Core training capabilities

  • Type Rating

    Complete Bell 412 type rating training with accurate flight dynamics, avionics and procedures tailored to real world operations.

  • IFR Training / Checking (CAT I)

    Conduct essential IFR procedures and CAT I checks in a controlled, realistic environment that enables precise and repeatable training.

  • Proficiency Checks

    Perform recurrent proficiency checks safely and efficiently, supported by a fully controllable and standardised training setup.

  • RNP Approaches / Departures

    Train modern PBN procedures with high fidelity RNP approaches and departures, supported by geo specific visual environments.

  • Emergency Procedures

    Practice critical Bell 412 emergency procedures safely and repeatedly — enabling crews to build confidence in handling system failures and complex scenarios

  • ACAS / TCAS Training

    Develop situational awareness and train compliant responses to realistic ACAS/TCAS situations.

  • HTAWS Training

    Build terrain avoidance skills in simulated low level, mountainous, and high risk environments using comprehensive HTAWS scenarios.

  • WX Radar

    Train effective use of onboard weather radar systems, including interpretation of returns and decision making in adverse weather.

  • MCC Training

    Strengthen multi crew coordination and communication with structured MCC exercises tailored to Bell 412 operations.

  • Mission Training: SAR, HEMS, Fire Fighting

    Develop operational proficiency across demanding mission profiles through fully customizable SAR, HEMS, and aerial firefighting scenarios.

IFR and MCC ratings can be trained type independant.

Specialized operations

Our simulator enables advanced mission oriented training across a wide range of demanding operational environments. From firefighting to maritime procedures, mountain operations, and complex emergency scenarios, all mission profiles can be recreated with high realism and full environmental control. This ensures pilots can safely develop the skills, precision and decision making required for challenging real world operations.

  • Fire Fighting (BAMBI), Geo specific terrain & satellite imagery

  • Deck landings (offshore/elevated helideck)

  • Ship landings (moving helideck)

  • Ditching Training

  • Airborne Radar Approach (ARA)

  • Customisable training zones, landing spots & mission environments

Hoist station training capacities

Train your winch operators on the Add-On to our EASA certified simulator

GHS provides a fully integrated multi crew hoist simulation environment, combining a Bell 412 FTD Level 3 simulator with a synchronised Hoist Operator Station. This creates a realistic mission space where pilots, copilots and hoist operators train together in a coordinated workflow. By conducting mission tasks in a controlled environment, crews improve communication, timing and mission planning long before real aircraft time is used. Our training makes the training safer, faster and more cost efficient, supporting on the way to aircraft based qualification.

Our services

Full Crew Training

Pilot, copilot and hoist operator train together in one synchronised mission scenario. Improving communication, timing and operational flow.

Synchronized Cockpit & Hoist Station

Real time coordination between cockpit and hoist operator station for realistic CRM, hover control, mission flow and decision making.

Custom Scenario Generation
